306 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 34-unit, 6-story tenement building at 306 East 5th Street, owned by Ervis Marku, was constructed in 1920 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the current mold infestation reported in February 2025, which prompted an HPD inspection that could not be completed.
The building has faced recurring rodent problems, with multiple rat activity inspections conducted between 2024 and 2025 showing continued presence of rodents, despite some previous successful inspections in 2022 and 2023 where no violations were found. Other significant incidents include a heat/hot water complaint in February 2022 that was resolved upon inspection, and an indoor air quality issue related to construction dust also in 2022. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2018 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units during each annual filing period.
While there were several complaints in 2021 regarding sidewalk shed safety and construction permits, inspections did not warrant violations at that time. The building's most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation (March 2023) was for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though previous filing history shows compliance. Recent rodent control efforts have been documented through multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025, though not all inspections have shown improvement, indicating ongoing pest management challenges.
